Ingredients

  • Beef flank steak - 300 grams
  • Pineapple - 150 grams, diced
  • Fresh ginger - 30 grams, grated
  • Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
  • Soy sauce - 30 ml
  • Lime juice - 15 ml
  • Olive oil - 15 ml
  • Corn tortillas - 4 pieces
  • Fresh cilantro - 20 grams, chopped
  • Salt - to taste
  • Pepper - to taste
  • Avocado - 1, sliced (for serving)
  • Radishes - 50 grams, thinly sliced (for serving)

Steps

  1. In a bowl, combine the diced pineapple, grated ginger, minced garlic, soy sauce, lime juice, and a pinch of salt and pepper to create the salsa. Set aside to marinate for at least 10 minutes.
  2. Season the beef flank steak with salt and pepper on both sides. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.
  3. Once the oil is hot, add the beef steak and sear for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until desired doneness. Remove from the skillet and let it rest for 5 minutes.
  4. While the beef is resting, warm the corn tortillas in the same skillet for about 30 seconds on each side until pliable.
  5. Slice the beef thinly against the grain and assemble the tacos by placing the beef slices on the warmed tortillas.
  6. Top the beef with the ginger-pineapple salsa and garnish with chopped cilantro, avocado slices, and radishes.
  7. Serve immediately with lime wedges on the side.
